New Poll Shows A Majority Of Voters Approve Of Trump’s Job Performance
He also said that Trump had been accusing the Obama administration more broadly, not the former president specifically, which would entirely change the substance of his argument. Lindsey Graham had some unsolicited advice for President Donald Trump on Monday night: Make sure your health care bill helps Americans, not just Republicans. Nor have the House and Senate minority whips, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Sen.
Forty-seven percent of voters approve of Trump’s handling of the economy and 45 percent approve of his handling of terrorism. “Everyone does things at the deadline”, said Adams Dudley, a physician who directs the Center for Health Care Value at the University of California, San Francisco. Whereas Obama largely attempted to recreate on a national scale the system implemented in MA by then-Gov. This, even though the president campaigned on a promise that he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something less expensive, less complicated and less restrictive that would cover everybody.
President Trump has introduced his budget plan, but that’s just the beginning of the appropriations process. Those ratings are down a bit from pre-ObamaCare days when 84 percent rated their insurance positively in July 2009 (the last time the question was asked on a Fox poll).
What’s going on? The administration isn’t failing because of some brilliant strategy on Democrats’ part. They passed Obamacare with a bare 60-vote majority.
Still, what’s most unbelievable is all those Trump supporters who will likely continue to believe Trump’s plan will lower their premiums, right up until they get the higher bills and finally understand Trump has not been working for their interests, but rather the interests of the wealthiest few.
Fifty-five percent of those surveyed had an unfavorable opinion, 39 percent had a favorable opinion and 6 percent were undecided, according to the Public Policy Polling survey. Other reforms to Obamacare, such as scaling back certain insurance industry regulations, will require 60 Senate votes to become law. Republicans may have had no choice but to pursue the repeal of the ACA right off the bat, but they could hardly have gone about it in a less competent way.
“We’re going to get killed!”Hewitt told Graham”.
“Remember, we’re gonna own what we do here for the rest of our political lives”, said Graham, one of the most persistent critics Trump faces within his own party.
Trump may ultimately conclude that this is the one path forward.
“If we had the greatest health care bill ever in history, and we needed eight votes from the Democrats to get us up to the 60 number that you would need?” The current GOP bill is the product of Speaker Paul Ryan and his allies, and the extent of Trump’s involvement is transitory and inconsistent.
